"Probably at least 20 people totally depend on me for their total transportation," said Curtis Adair, supervisor of transportation for the county.
According to program records, two clients use the service to go to dialysis treatments. They each need treatment three times a week. Another client uses the service to go shopping and to doctor appointments three to five times a month. Still another client asks the service to take them to and from chemotherapy three times a month.
But the program was put in jeopardy this week after the Cleburne County Commission declined to allocate the money needed to keep it operating.
The service is funded through a combination of federal and local dollars. The county puts up a little less than half the money and a federal grant kicks in for the rest.
For fiscal year 2014, which begins in October, the commission needed to allocate $26,588. That allocation would make the county eligible to receive $31,706 from a federal grant disbursed by the Alabama Department of Transportation. The deadline for participating in the grant program is Aug. 9, three days before the County Commission's next scheduled meeting, said Steve Swafford, county administrator.
The East Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission manages the grant for the department.
"The funds pass through our agency," said Shane Christian, project administrator of the commission.
Six counties in the commission's 10-county area including Cleburne receive funding through the rural transit grant program, he said. Two others, Tallapoosa and Etowah counties, have their own public transit programs separate from the commission, Christian said. Only Chambers and Randolph counties have no transit program, he said.
The programs are important to the riders, Christian said.
"We often provide transportation to people who have no other options," Christian said.
Adair said Cleburne County's transportation program started in 1994 to serve the county's senior centers. It expanded into public transportation and now serves as public transportation only, he said.
It is an on-demand program that runs Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. His clients call at least 24 hours in advance to schedule a ride and Adair lets them know what time he will have to pick them up to get all the riders to their appointments on time. Adair drives his clients anywhere in Cleburne and Calhoun counties as well as Carroll and Haralson counties in Georgia, he said.
Most of his clients are elderly or low-income, Adair said. There are regular riders and then others who he sees intermittently.
Over the last couple of years, ridership has been on the rise, which he believes is because of the economy, Adair said. In fiscal year 2010, the program had an average of 48 riders a month. In fiscal year 2011, ridership rose to an average of 78 per month and in fiscal year 2012 it was 92.
The program is funded by a 10-cent portion of the tobacco tax. In February, Commissioner Emmett Owen had asked about using the tobacco tax money or part of it for discretionary funds for the commissioners.
Attempts to reach Owen for comment were unsuccessful.
However, commissioners Laura Cobb and Benji Langley had said their concerns about the allocation were simply about needing more information. They didn't realize that the allocation needed to be funded immediately, they said.
Cleburne County Administrator Steve Swafford said he was able to get an extension until after the next regular commission meeting from the East Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission.

Bought this so I could get three bikes in the truck . this thing is not really what I expected. It is not cheap for sure. Thought it would be a little more stable. Do not have perfect convidence in this yet. Will need to use it a bit before I give it a higher rating.Read All Reviews

I've thought about getting one of these racks for quite a few years but figured the install would be a pain. Thanks to RMATV's rewards program I finally had a good excuse to order this bad boy. Install was a piece of cake on my 2013 Dodge 2500 taking all of 20 minutes from start to finish. Only change I made was to smear a bit of silicone around the drilled holes to protect the exposed pickup bed metal from future rust. Very well designed and surprisingly light (my wife actually thought it was plastic). All in all a good buy and I'd highly suggest it to anyone that's looking for a faster and more secure way to tie down their bikes.Read All Reviews

Having just watched my first episode of Ring Ka King I thought I absolutely had to write a post concerning the program. I don't usually dip my toe in TNA waters, every time I've
I've been reading in various places recently that an Indy wrestler called Chris Hero has been signed to WWE talent development FCW. I dont know very much about him other than he is an internet phenomenon. He has masses of followers and has made waves working for Ring of Honour (along with once Kings of Wrestling tag Partner Claudio Castagnoli, also now working with FCW).
The Royal Rumble.
Going in I had so many fantasies about what the outcome would be; who would shine, rumble 'Legend' returns and if there would be any surprise returns to the main roster. I thought the latter may be even more promising in light of Randy Orton's early return for Smackdown and for some reason I just kept getting Batista's music stuck in my head in the build

Brie Larson, Steve Prokopy, Nell Minow, and more discuss "Challenging Stigma Through the Arts" at Ebertfest.
Here is the story of two boys coming of age in two strangely combined families. Poetic, romantic and idealistic, it begins in 1939 and concludes after the end of World War II. It's not strictly speaking a Holocaust movie, although the dark cloud of that atrocity arches overhead.
The setting of "Simon and the Oaks" is a Swedish coastal community, where we meet Simon (Jonatan S. Wachter), a dreamy young boy drawn to the solitude of an old oak, where in a tree house he devours books and is filled with ineffable longings. His parents, Karin and Erik (Helen Sjoholm and Stefan Godicke), are salt-of-the-earth types, his dad a master carpenter. Inspired by his books, Simon is drawn to enroll in the local school. His father opposes this, seeing it as a threat to the family.
In the school, he meets a German Jewish boy named Isak (Karl Martin Eriksson), whose parents fled from the Nazis. His father, Ruben (Jan Josef Liefers), owns a bookstore in the town, and Simon regards with awe all the books he sees in its window. When a fellow student taunts Isak for being Jewish, Simon comes to his rescue and bloodies the bully's nose. Then Isak takes Simon home to meet his parents, who live in a luxurious flat above the store, filled with art and exuding sophistication.
Keep these characters in mind. There is more to them than we suspect. We gradually discover that Karin and Erik are childless and raised Simon after he was born to his unmarried Aunt Inga (Cecilia Nilsson). Simon's father was a German Jewish violinist who had a romance with Inga, which was cut short by the war. So Karin and Erik may have notions about why Simon is drawn to music and a life of the mind.
They invite Isak to come and live with them, as a refuge from anti-Semitic bullying at school. Subtly, the families merge, and it's clear Isak's father and Simon's mother are attracted to each other. Erik notices this, but exercises tactful restraint. He is compensated because Isak is as fascinated by Erik's boat building as Simon is by Ruben's bookselling. Each father gets a surrogate son. And both sons are targets for the Nazis.
We may anticipate that the movie will advance slowly through the war and reach its climax that way, but no; unlike most movies involving the Holocaust, this one places the war's end at the halfway point and leaps ahead. Now the two young actors are replaced by older ones; Simon is played by Bill Skarsgard (Stellan's son), and Isak by Karl Linnertorp.
The oak tree is not forgotten, nor the images which young Simon imagined in the cloud formations above it. Ruben takes Simon to concerts, which transport him, and gives the boy a radio-phonograph, which fills the simple seaside home with music. Subplots involve illness and sexual initiation.
The film is based on a Scandinavian best-selling novel by Marianne Fredriksson, and arrives bedecked by 13 Swedish nominations and two awards. It is unabashedly sentimental and epic, and rather bold in the way it takes place during and after the Holocaust but is not defined by it. The real story is of two unconventional families who help each other in a time fraught with danger. I was intrigued by the relationship of the two fathers, who arrive at an unspoken detente for the benefit of the two sons.

Quarterback Jeremy Liggins from Lafayette (Miss.) High School won't attend LSU.
"I have scratched LSU," Liggins told 247Sports. "I was thinking about it real hard (Monday) night. I called LSU today and told them they were out."
Liggins will now turn his attention to two in-state schools: Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
"I just want to stay in Mississippi and represent my state," he said. "I love my state. I want to help bring a national championship to Mississippi."
It would appear Liggins wants to help Ole Miss win that championship. He told 247Sports during his visit to LSU last weekend he was promoting Ole Miss to junior college wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson.
"I was kind of in his ear about Ole Miss," Liggins said. "The Ole Miss coaches asked me to keep an eye on him. I did."

Pegetha thank you for the thoughts you know i have been worreid about you also and worried about the blood counts going to far down to maintain the platelets.
Brian we,re not text book PV..at least most of us.Its complicated as well as some of us in our own way.My husband is the worse listener on earth and has no clue about my pv/mf nor new liver problem ..why you ask( lol) it has to come from the garbage man his foot doc. or anyone but me.He really never listens to anyone let alone let someone finish a sentence.so he remains ignorant to alot of subjects.But to listen to others desribe there version of PV when it sounds so cut and dry..well i guess it gets me going.Pv can lead to many things..for some of us.PV untreated cause strokes heart attacks and yes even death if untreated for a long time.I have been researching and talking to othe groups about so many subjects that stem from MPN. diseases there is no one person that should describe PV as a black and white issue.Sure in the beginning i was a few phlebots and a few HU a week and still energetic enough to do what i wanted.Not saying that i don, t still try..God knows i push myself.But hearing from people who think its a walk in the park well..heres my shoes.I,m grateful that i,m not like the bald sick and young person there,But i have plenty compassion atop of wanting to be understood.,One day at a time ??/well sometimes its one hour at a time.even one minute depending on the situation.So we all feel fortunate to be here and be connected.I pray your disease( however anyone wants to describe it )stays and does,nt progess.I pray hard for everyone..So hang tough and sending mega hugs =D PS PATTI IS UNABLE TO LOG ONTO THE SITE >?????????????
Hello everyone,just checking in.I'm doing okay.I'm not happy that my shoulder isn't completely well yet.My motion is not a 100% yet.They tell me now that it could be up to a year to get full motion.Doing therapy 3 times a week and trying to work too.I made a decision to retire at the end of this year.We will try to sell this house and down size.I'll sleep in a tent if I have to.Tired of the commute and all the over time this job calls for.Don't get me wrong,I really love my job and all my co-workers,but the time has come.
Hope Karen is doing better,Dee. and please take care of your self too. To everyone here I've got you in my prayers and take care.God Bless....LindaK
Dee, i understand where you are coming from, and agree with you. I know i've had people tell me.... 'oh, my (so, and so___ ) has pv, and they are fine! their life is normal and no complications! ....... (and i've heard the same sort of story before from someone, referring to a coworker) Well, i'll tell ya, it makes me want to shake them!! They just Don't get it!!! First of all...... maybe that Co-worker> doesn't want to tell everyone every detail (because they wouldn't get it anyways!!) or they Don't get it, that No two people with any MPN's (or other cancers) are exactly alike in symptoms, pains and all that! It's ignorance of the matter.... and therefore they shouldn't be making flippant remarks. It can truly hurt those who are suffering (or those whom know someone who is suffering from these cancers). I would go on and on...... but, i think i've made my point.
And i'd like all of my blood buddies here to know, that I hold you in my prayers.... and I'm so proud of All of you!!! You are very strong and courageous! And i thank God for the day i found this forum!!
Pegetha, it's so great to hear from you sweetie! And woohoo!! you've been weaned off the HU!! great job my friend!! I'm proud of you! I can only imagine how hard it must be for you to pull the energy (as so many others here) to get up and go to work, and yet feeling no energy, and all those symptoms. Hang in there!!! and i too hope and pray that one day..... not only a better drug be made, but A Cure to be Found!!!! for all these horrible MPN's (and other cancers!!) Cancer sucks!!! But........ WE ARE FIGHTERS!!!! and we will pull strength from one another when we need it!!!
Patti, if you can read the post (i know you can't post at the moment) ..... but know that i'm thinking of you and lifting you in prayers sweetie!!
Linda, glad to hear that you will be able to retire at the end of this year!! And i will be praying for your shoulder. Sounds like you are so busy with work, therapy and your home. Hang in there my dear......
Take care all..........
Hi Everyone... I haven't posted in awhile, so I wanted to check in. Since returning from Mayo, I have had 2 doses of Pegasys, and the side effects haven't been horrible! Dr Mesa wanted me to start at a low dose, so I could monitor my response and, hopefully, tolerate the side effects better. I had my third injectiion last night, and I am actually a little worried that it isn't working because I don't feel like I have the flu! Hopefully, I will tolerate it well. I'm a little frustrated, because I have talked the Pegasys rep and she keeps telling me that "the side effects go away when you stop therapy" . Ugh, I have to remind her I'm taking it for ET not hepatitis C. Also, I had my first iron infusion last Thursday. Dr, Mesa said I definitely needed an iron infusion, just three smaller infusions instead of one big infusion. He didn't want the iron to "rev up" my marrow too much. And luckily, the iron infusion wasn't too bad. I didn't feel too sick after that. Although, my seven year old was home from school sick, so I didn't have much of a choice to feel bad! I had to take care of him! Dr Mesa still wants me to get a full Neuro work up. So I'm not done yet.
I agree with you guys about how frustrating it can be to discuss our MPNs with others. I get so tired of people telling me you look great everything will be ok. They just don't understand.
It seems like a lot of you are having a tough time. You guys are all in my thoughts.
Linda i,ll be happy to hear when you say you are retired.I know its been so taxing on you as well as Pegetha.I have been trying my damnest to hit the lottery so everyone can have the best ins.and retire early.Boy its a long time for the shoulder to heal.Prayers being sent your way.
Brian i did,nt mean to sound angry but the timing was.. shall we say..not perfect.I,m having to keep info from my family for now about something new due to lack of the ablity to listen and support.I pray your PV stays were it is.
Sarah i know you have been though the ringer with the hot topic of the week.Being judged by the way they think you look.Its great not to look like a chemo patient as long as the people close to you understand one still can feel really bad.Thats why this group is so important to keep going.
Natalie sounds like you have been through the hoops yourself.Its gr8 to have Dr Mesa treating you.Be careful when the kids have colds and flu please.I know you are but Just dealing with alot of kids we become walking targets for germs.
When people tell me i don, t look sick i say "thank you and thank GOD for that"Its not that we want to but being understood is so important.I,m very hush about how i feel now and even talking about things.Karen is doing better still in pain but doing alot of walking.Her hubby was home today so i did,nt have to go over there.I enjoyed the morning to myself.Went out to my garden and worked a bit, felt good to do what i enjoy.I hope everyone here makes it a point to do something that brings them joy.Not matter what it is.With that i,ll say good night and huggers.=D
Mimi ,Pauline helllooooooo....Patti i hope you can get back on its so frustrating when one cant log into our group.Hope LLS can figure it out.
Dee thank you for including me in the last email ! There are never hard feelings on here ! I wish you and everyone else only the best of health and life. ! I retired from an Elem Asst.Principal position after 40 years of service last July only to find out in November I had PV. You can never ever plan in the game of life. That's why I always end my emails with One Day At A Time. My days are filled with remembering the HU and aspirin and more fatigue then in the past. I will be seeing my Hem/ Onc. tomorrow. It's a crap shoot as to what my levels will be. I always bring along the last blood test and get a copy of the new one to compare before my Doc. calls for me. Hope everyone on here a wonderful evening and a better day tomorrow !
One Day At A Time !
Just as a reminder to every one to listen to your body.There is alot of other situations due to PV/MF that can bring bigger problems and one has to be pro active.I was pleading with my doc for interferon.and he was against it all.Just wondering if the liver situation would of been differant.Still waiting for the results of all the cat scans.I also asked for something for fluids.They said no.After researching i have found out i should of been on a low dose of lasix.The instant weight gain and puffy face and pressure i knew was fluids i could feel it.Now i,m starting to lose some of the weight but still have the ongoing lack of urniating properly.Now i just have to wait so we can put the correct new disease name that goes with PV and get the proper treatment.My ultra sound say,s cirrhosis but see what the catscans show.It also states to have cat scans done pronto.Thank god my pcp was in tune to my symptoms and already had them done.The million dollar question is how can someone with yearly scans end up with cirrhosis and no one spotted it???...does it come that fast??The spleen is a bit larger but not the cause of my complaints at this point..When all the ducks come in i will make a proper move.I,m not sure if i should be angry at the docs but it does,nt do any good at this point.Feel like im starting ll over again lol.Well tootles stay proactive and take no prisoners. Huggers=D
FYI there are a few links between PV..MF and liver disease one has a mutation of SLC30A10....Just emailed 23 and me to see if they can test for that.Fingers crossed.There are some other rare names of diseases linked but its too early to say which is which and what is going on.
boy Dee,... you've become quite the lil' researcher! Proud of you! and hope that 23andme can run that test for you!
and to everyone, after Dee's comment about listen to your body... i think i should share what stupid thing i just did!
and that's the opposite of listening to my body!! I knew i hadn't been feeling 'Right?' i was having the feeling of my heart racing... very jumpy to any sudden noise, and once again feeling sort of numbing feeling to my left finger/hand and starting to sort of travel upward..... Well, i'm stubborn when it comes to 'me' and i felt i 'didn't have time to feel sick!, my life was very busy at the moment and i just could not get sick' and i guess i felt that if i believed hard enough that i was ok, then i'd be ok! lol.... (i did have a couple of lorazapam's left (for anxiety) so i was taking 1/2 a dose..... so recently i discovered that i was not taking 'all of my blood pressure meds!!' as i said, my life has been very busy lately, and for sure the last week (maybe 2 wks?) when i filled my pill box, I Knew something didn't look right' but.... just never made the time to Really stop and figure it out! I hadn't been taking my 100mg. Atenonol !! (i've been on that for yrs) and i am so thankful that God watched over me and i didn't have a stroke or worse... geez...... how dumb was that!!? And 'Yes' my body was speaking to me! and I did not stop to listen! when i realized the problem this last week while filling in my pill box.... i knew that i knew something didn't look right before! So big lesson to be learned for me!! I know i can't be distracted when filling in my bp pills, i take 3 of them, plus the aspirin.
long story......... but hope it's a reminder for some to 'please slow down!' and lets listen to our bodies!
Natalie, i'm so glad to know you are handling the Pegasy well! and yes... please be careful of germs, but i know it's hard with lil' ones, especially if they are sick, you want to hug them and love them even more! I know that's how i am with my grandkids.... love them dearly!
Brain, my comments were directed over the GP's comment (you were just the messenger! ) and you are right, we never know what lays ahead for us.... as Mimi always says, Life is a Mystery! Good luck at your next hem. appt. and it's great that you keep copies of all your cbc's! we must keep ourselves informed and be on top of things, we are our own best advocates!
In-case any of our Newbies (which you aren't newbies anymore!....) but just incase you haven't heard of 'Light the Night Walk' through the LLS. you should check it out! They have yearly fundraiser walks (you can check out when they will have one in your area) I (we, my family and I) joined and created our team in '09? This year will be our 4th year walking, ours is in Sept. It's so very inspiring!! and most importantly, funds are being raised for 'Research for new meds, help for patients, and more.... and prayerfully 'a Cure!!' for MPN's!!! you can Create a team of your own, or join a team, or volunteer for the LTN walk event, just spread the word! it all helps....... Last year was really neat for me and my family, as we got to meet Neil (from our forum here!) and his wife Julie. It was so wonderful!! it's amazing all that LLS does for us! if you need help finding the LTN, homepage.... just let me know and i'll try to help.
when we set up our page, i'll post it here later.
oh, and i'm jazzed, my sister offered to me,... that if i'd like to do a 'Bunco game, fundraiser for the LTN walk' at her home again, we could!, .... and, of course i said 'Yes!' so we will do that next month? need to plan it out still....
okay, i've babbled long enough.......... take care all!! and Blessings to all of you!
Patti still cannot log on ,does anyone have any ideas to try something differant.Also were is the phone # for the LLS ???Any help would be appreciated

Austin >Food & Dining > Pacific Star Restaurant-Oyster
13507 N Hwy 183, Austin, TX | Directions 7875030.450127 -97.790630
Awesome! – I loved the decor for one thing! The beer was ice cold, the oysters were great and when the main entree came out I thought I had died and gone to heaven! I did not expect so much from this little restaurant tucked in among the car dealerships. People are missing out!
Great Food, Great Service – This is the kind of place crave seafood. I am from Houston and the Austin version of seafood has not really wow'd me. The exception is Pacific Star in NW Austin. The food is great and the family proprietors are top notch. If you are looking for 5 star, cloth napkins and fine china this is not your place. But if you are looking for great food, belly up to the bar and put your lips around the best seafood in town.
BAD SERVICE!!! – We ate here at about 5pm on Friday. Right off the bat, the service was bad. One waiter for the hole place on a busy day! The food was ok, the catfish was very greasy. I asked the waiter if I can have a refill on my drink and he just ignored me. We were rushed out this place. It's very small so believe me, you will be rushed. I didnt get a refill, we were rushed and when it was time to pay that's the ONLY time the waiter was attentive. You're better off paying a higher price for seafood because the quality will be better and most importantly, the service will be better somewhere else. You get what you pay for!!!
Long John Silvers was Better, Frozen fried Mexican tries Cajun – Hole in the wall with bad service and worse food. They haven't the first clue as to Gumbo. Beer is warm and flat. Most of the menue is frosen fried Mrs Paul's items. It is in a delapidated old Long John Silver's but I bet it was better. How can you mess up raw oysters but an obnoxious, cracker wraper grabing waitress and a bell haapy fry chef sure did it for me. I have never had my plate reached across so many times. Get a root canal. It would be more pleasant.
The oysters: awesome. The rest, kind of bland – We came in with high hopes and were not disappointed with the ENORMOUS oysters on the half shell appetizer for about 1/5 of what you would pay for those someplace else. Fantastic. The entrees, however, left something to be desired. The cornmeal crust on the fried foods (I got the combo so I could sample everything) was pretty bland and generic tasting, no "wow" factor. And some strange celery or carrot flavor kept bothering me the whole time and made me not want to finish. The crawfish etoufee that previous reviewers had gleamed about was also a bit disappointing. Again, bland. Even the garlic bread that accompanied the dishes was bland, which was hard to understand. The service was good; bunch of nice kids working there, they were responsive and friendly. The low price made the trip worth it if only for the oyster appetizer. But not really flavorful stuff after that, as far as what we tried.
Better fried clam strips than New England; Better fried flounder than Galveston – Well, waddya know? Austin either has great continental dishes like Chilean sea bass topped with crab (Eddie V's), or great creole dishes (Gumbo's), but Pacific Star is the only restaurant in town that has seafood like you'll find on the Gulf. I personally don't care that much for Papadeaux's, because Pacific Star has them topped in all departments. One of the nicest things about Pacific Star is the ambience--you'll think you're on vacation on the Texas Gulf. You almost feel like there's sand on the floor. Their fried clams are the sweetest I've ever had (including Boston), and their fried whole catfish is SO SUPERB. The shrimp rice is AMAZING. Very child friendly and family friendly. The staff are attentive but not overbearing by any means. The prices are 1/2 of what they would be at a downtown seafood restaurant, and the food here is SO MUCH BETTER!!!
actually able to get good seafood in austin – i grew up working in a seafood market/restaurant and have been frustrated with trying to find good seafood in austin. i went to pacific star on a recommendation from a couple of regulars at my bar and was extremely pleased with what i ate. i had some awesome oysters diablo and a great crawfish pirogue. i have returned since and have had various broiled and blackened fish entrees and have never been disappointed. glad i could find a place that ventured out of the realm of catfish and into the ocean.
North Austin find serves up fresh, affordable seafood. – In Short
Old wooden planks creak under your feet as you enter. The decor is decidedly beachside dive, with a cramped interior bathed entirely in pale blue. A TV in the corner keeps the locals entertained as they mingle around the circular oyster bar. Get started with a bowl of savory gumbo or the shrimp diablos, spicy shrimp wrapped with bacon and a jalapeño. The catfish filet is breaded with cornmeal, tender and flaky, with a crunchy exterior.
Never Going Back – The service was extremely slow, about 5 other tables served before us that ordered after us. Fried shrimp (how can you mess that up) had absolutely no flavor, the shrimp diablo appetizer was average but still bland. The flounder had stickers all inside of it, it was practically unetable. Was not worth $35 for two people. This place will not stay in business if they continue to disrespect their customers and not care how their food is prepared.
good stuff! – This is a place I end up going back to, despite its distance from my home in south Austin. The food comes quick and delicious.
As for downsides, I don't think there's enough indoor, air-conditioned heating, especially for large groups.
The shrimp cocktail with pico de gallo is delicious (toss in a little Tabasco sauce from your table for some extra zest). The crawfish sandwich (I forgot the name) was just amazing, albeit a tad too greasy for me.
The blackened snapper was really good too, and just like another reviewer pointed out, the shrimp rice is delicious. The iced tea is oddly really good too.
All in all, delicious, well priced seafood. It definitely has a local feeling to it, if that kind of thing matters to you: you see Harley Davidson bikers in there, and you can eat at the counter bar-style too.

Grand Jury to Hear Trayvon Martin Case, Mull Charges Against George Zimmermanby Free Britney at .
Trayvon Martin's girlfriend, who was on the phone with him before the unarmed teen was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, will testify before a grand jury.
The grand jury will be impaneled April 10 to determine if Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain, should be charged with murder, according to reports.
The Trayvon Martin case gained national attention after he was gunned down by Zimmerman, who felt he was acting suspiciously in his gated community.
Martin was unarmed, and even though a 911 dispatcher told Zimmerman not to pursue Martin, he subsequently shot the teenager, claiming self defense.
To the outrage of many, local law enforcement in Sanford, Fla., declared that there wasn't enough evidence to charge Zimmerman with a crime in the February killing.
Amid public outcry, the Florida State Attorney's Office has since announced that a grand jury would ultimately decide if he should face criminal charges, however.
The FBI and the U.S. Justice Department have also launched investigations.
The 17-year-old Martin was on the phone with his girlfriend, whose name has not been released because she's a minor, as Zimmerman began to follow him.Sanford Police never questioned Trayvon's girlfriend, even though her parents contacted the cops to tell them she wanted to come in for a full interview.
A grand jury will now give her that chance to tell her side of the story.
"Trayvon's girlfriend has been told that the (Fla.) State Attorney's Office has prepared a subpoena for her to appear in front of the grand jury," a police source said.
Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee Jr. temporarily stepped down from his position Thursday, after he came under fire for not arresting Zimmerman in the case.
Zimmerman called 911 46 times in 2011, according to records. Not a single one of those calls resulted in an arrest or further action being needed by police.

The new reports coming out now regarding a witness and possibly more is making me even more curious. I think maybe there is more there than meets the eye. Self-defense is a real possibility here..if so? Then no murder occurred and once again unfortunately we see the black community quick to judge someone of another race. I can tell by further news articles that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are trying to do this "retro-1960's Civil Rights" thing with this case. Sorry, but we need to move forward now and work toward a real POST-RACIAL era of which I'm afraid with the sitting President and the two I mentioned above plus Eric Holder will NOT happen! They will only make the situation worse. And I believe at this point it most certainly is their intent to do so. What does this achieve? It only drags us backwards. Obama is not a unifier, instead, he's a very divisive figure. Tragic, really.
I have been reading these comments here that have nothing to do with the actual article topic! Obviously there is a feud of sorts going on amongst two groups. I have to say after reading this stuff along with what's on a couple more articles about Trayvon Martin? It sounds like there's a long-time conflict going on. No resolve in sight. I get the impression you just like to argue for argue's sake. There's no real purpose here. Why?? What a waste of time! Just give your opinion on the article topic and get on with your lives. You all sound so stupid!
You (67) are seeing a whole team of psychiatrists aren't you. Your rubbish bores me to the point where I have to re-read it just absorb your message. Yes- you sound like a real church enthusiast. I'm going with the Church of Rev. Wright as being the place where you and yours congregate. I will 2nd that and carry on to less infected waters. You are a liar who can't keep her lies straight and you look ridiculous trying to do it.
Well at least Katy can read. I said not on that thread. Since all have you have been trolling you would have thought you had figured this out. I stayed true to my word, I am 67 and Just Me. I reappeared as myself, 67. Here's where you're all lost. Many were repulsed by Reed and sidekicks. They have continued to post while I watched the insanity unfold. You only managed to call out one person in all this time. You've even agreed with fellow users that were in the circle. Neci, welcome to the team. Keep trolling, we're coast to coast. Since some of us do go to church, it's time for lunch. The games will begin tomorrow. Have a good one.
*I believe the public is tired of crime. It is one thing when there is a senseless killing, and quite another when *we find out that the person with the gun has *his version of the story told and is cleared to go on with his life and with his gun. It is another thing to find out that the mother of this child had to call and report her child missing before she found out that he might be the "young John Doe in the morgue" especially when he was within a few yards of home. I believe that the outrage of this tragedy led to the marching of peace across this country. It also comes from the fact that the city of Sanford,Fla. continues to shield Zimmerman instead of arresting him and having him to explain why he followed Trayvon Martin when he was adamantly told by the very people that he had called for advise, Not to follow him. Signing off on this topic!!
When I see the daily News, No matter the race when a person is killed,
there is usually a sense of outrage,grief, and shock, and anger. Regardless of the race of the child or adult who has been killed, the people in the community are left to deal with what has happened after the News reporters have left. Almost every day there is a story that get *our attention, and the anger and disappointment of communities who have been affected by crime and a senseless tragedy. * I will Not minimize the importance of each life. The difference in this story is so many people have personal stories associated with the actions of the police. *We can Not deny that proper procedures were Not followed in this particular case.

Camping at Alamo Lake State Park offers incredible star viewing opportunities.
Alamo Lake State Park is one of Arizona's best kept secrets. The stark desert beauty is reflected off the water. Cacti dot the mountainous landscape that surround the lake. Nestled in the Bill Williams River Valley away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Alamo Lake State Park offers outdoor fun, premier bass fishing, rest and relaxation. For nature lovers, spring rains bring an abundance of wild flowers and the lake environment attracts a variety of wildlife year round, including bald and golden eagles, waterfowl, foxes, coyotes, mule deer and wild burros. Stargazers are sure to enjoy the unbelievable view of the night sky with the nearest city lights some forty miles away!
Alamo Lake, located on the Bill Williams River where the Big Sandy River and Santa Maria River come together, was created with the completion of Alamo Dam in 1968. The Army Corps of Engineers designed the earthen dam primarily for flood control. During flood events, the lake basin is capable of "capturing" large amounts of water in a relatively short time. The lake has been recorded rising 11 vertical feet in one night! Unusually high flows during the late 1970s and through the 1980s have increased the average size of the lake, helping to create one of Arizona's best fishing holes.
Fishing tournaments are common at the lake and anglers have an excellent opportunity to catch bluegill, largemouth bass, channel catfish, and black crappie. Remember, the desert can be harsh and dangerous, but it is also very fragile. Help us protect it, and yourself, by camping in the designated camp areas and keeping vehicles on maintained roadways.

Practicing at La Caja Magica :)
Let's go back to that day and repeat it again, Everything is possible :)
I'm proud of you Maria ;)
Of course we're proud of Maria! Maria plays with her own ability not with the power of drugs!
Dartagnan: I would like to draw your attention on Serena's mucles during the tournament and Serena's muscles in normal life.
You see Maria Sharapova has finished a final and her muscles are normal. I mean they are not fully inflated. Look the arms of Serena Williams at this final. Her muscles are fully inflated.
But look Serena Williams' muscles in the picture below with Nadal. Her arms are normal, they look like Maria Sharapova's arms at this final.
Serena Williams might use a special drug to increase the power of her muscles during important tournaments.

Adobe's Create the Web Event
Sep 12, 2012 2:51:45 PM
Are you curious to learn the ins and outs of Adobe's products? Would you like to dive deeper into the workings of HTML, CSS, motion graphics, web development and more? Well, if you are a graphic designer, web developer, or any kind of web junkie, Adobe's 'Create the Web' event is just for you. Traveling to locations across the world, Adobe will be answering questions, revealing new information, and hosting intriguing discussions involving their software applications.
The Adobe team will travel to San Francisco, London, Tokyo, and Sydney to host the event in each location. The strategy behind the location selections seems clear. All four of the listed locations are leaders in technology and software development in their respective countries. As such, Adobe staff members hope to light a fuel under these cities' web application fire, bringing an elevated level of conversation to these areas.
As Adobe continues to push to provide access to their applications on multiple platforms, users will be able to fully appreciate all of the new components featured in HTML5, as well as a number of new layout formats. From PCs to tablets to smart phones, Adobe developers continue their quest to allow for functionality on all of these devices.
The Create the Web event is already sold out; however, those who missed the deadline will have an opportunity to live stream the event here. A number of different speakers and presentations will be available, all of which are listed on the site. We look forward to the reveal of the new capabilities that Adobe has to offer.

Back when I lived in Southern California, I was blessed with a friend who played a lot of import strategy RPGs. He would kindly translate for me while I scratched my head at the squiggly lines I would eventually understand. One of those games or rather a series of games was Spectral Souls. I played through the first game for a few hours before scratching my head in confusion and my friend decided to give me the long and short of it and suggested I just try the second game. Sure enough I wound up liking the second game despite the intense language barrier. I was really pleased to hear that NIS was going to pick up the Idea Factory developed Spectral Souls II, mainly because I would be able to play it in English and even better, play it on the go. After putting this game in my PSP though, I wanted to quickly put it right back in its case and mail it back to Charles with a bottle of powdery white stuff attached. And by that I just mean powdered sugar… maybe…
Spectral Souls is a Strategy RPG that really had a lot of average things going for it on the PS2, but on the PSP everything managed to get much worse. The game already contains sprites that hail from the tail end of the SNES era, and it only looks worse when ported to the PSP's small screen, planted against serviceable polygonal backdrops. So what you have here is a sad contrast between the then and the now. Had this been a first generation PSP title then I might have been a little more forgiving. What I really don't understand is how Sony can allow this game to be released yet they won't give Konami the chance at releasing the Suikoden 1 and 2 compilation that is out over in Japan. Even though it is a fully 2-D title, it looks vastly superior to Spectral Souls. This game also has a really grainy filter on it making it look like you're staring at the pages of a poorly printed magazine. One of the technical high points of this game winds up being the audio, which is really nothing more than your standard rock fare that has been heard better in games like Guilty Gear Judgement. There is no voice acting in the game and that's perfectly fine with me, though the battle cry audio is also acceptable.
The story is something that I still scratch my head at even when I am able to read it in English. Basically you have three different armies that can be controlled and contains a branching story. This leads to a number of confusing story lines but I tried to stick with it and I found it to be interesting. In the world of Neverland you've got the Demon Army trying to overrun the land of the humans and essentially commit genocide and rule the world. The humans want the same thing, the outright slaughter of the Demons. Lastly there is the Rozess Liberation Army which looks to just make peace for everyone. It's a story loaded with political machinations and plot twists and back stabbings, perfect for those who want something closer to a novel in their games. Though I must say the ability to switch armies to augment the story is something I would like to see more of. The only other game to come close to pulling this off was Suikoden 3 on the PS2.
So from what I've told you so far this all seems serviceable and should have been a good game. Unfortunately it has a large number of technical flaws that make this game insanely difficult to play. Only the most patient will be able to sit through the load times that will rear their head at every turn. Got a dialog box of text popping up? Load time. Moving a character in battle? Load time. Completing a battle? Oh you better believe there is a load time. A lot of these load times must be against some of Sony's technical requirements, but I guess not if Sony let load times greater than thirty seconds fly. It may seems like this is just one thing to focus on, but it cuts so heavily into the already short life span of a PSP battery that it simply cannot be ignored. To top it off the game runs slowly, moving around town is a sluggish affair and moving around battles is even worse. It's hard to navigate menus with the way this game runs. A battle takes so much longer than it really needs to. Five minutes in this game will barely get you through an entire turn.
Spectral Souls should have been a decent strategy RPG with an interesting twist on the story. But instead it's a title plagued with technical flaws that make it a challenge to play. Even the most patient of people are going to have a hard time playing this game. Each action within this game seems to take an eternity, and if you had a stopwatch to measure the loading times I sure that's what the reading would be. Avoid this title if you can, Generations of Chaos, another flawed title, is quite superior, and even then, that's not saying much. It's too bad NIS wound up with this dud of a title, perhaps someone branched off from their story at the wrong point in time.

Oral Health Topics
Drug Use
Talking With Your Patients
Asking patients about their drug and alcohol use is something that dentists often struggle with. Some feel uncomfortable about prying into what they perceive as a patient's 'personal business' when they may not see a direct connection to whatever dental treatment will be provided on a given day. Sometimes dentists don't want to ask about illegal drug use because they are unsure how to respond to an affirmative answer. And other times dentists don't ask because it doesn't occur to them that their patients would be using 'those' drugs.
The epidemic of methamphetamine (sometimes called speed, ice, etc.) abuse, with that drug's devastating damage to teeth and oral tissues, is rapidly making it urgent that dentists not only know what to look for and how to treat it, but how to talk about it—and how to direct patients to get help for their drug problem.
Who are these people who are using meth?
- Adolescents and college kids, looking for that powerful high and a good time
- High-achieving high school and college students wanting to cram more hours into the day
- Women who love the way meth takes away their appetite
- Moms looking for a way to "do it all" really fast
- Long-haul truck drivers needing to stay awake
- Professionals under pressure to do more and more (e.g., lawyers, CPAs in tax season, medical residents on night call)
- Gay men looking to kick up the sexual thrill to a new high
- The bored, lonely, angry, depressed--looking for a way to feel better
Patients expect their dentists to be savvy about causes of tooth damage. They expect their dentists to say something. And they think that, if their dentist doesn't say anything, that everything's all right.
One comfortable, 'backdoor' way to ask about drug use, and to educate yourself in the process, is to remark to every patient that you're becoming aware of meth use in your community. What have they heard? What's happening at the high school or on campus? What are they hearing at the gym? Do they have acquaintances who've started using? Have they tried it themselves?
If you're in an area where methamphetamine use is widespread, it doesn't hurt to admonish every patient to avoid its use.
In fact, there is research that supports the efficacy of brief interventions by professionals who are aware of a patient's risk. These interventions are sometimes as simple as admonitions not to start or continue to use a substance, or to decrease the amount and frequency of use. We know that patients have high opinions of recommendations that come from their dentists, and that this may be an opportunity to do a great deal of good.
Point out the first signs of damage to the teeth. Because of the rapid progression of meth addiction, you might not get another chance to do early prevention. Show the patient what's wrong, explain why you're concerned. Express concern and not judgment—the difference looks like this:
"You've got such a bright future ahead of you, I'd hate to see you jeopardize it with drug use." And
"What on earth is a bright kid like you doing putting junk like this into your body!"
One dentist has found she gets the best responses from patients when, after clinical and radiograph findings, asks "How did your teeth get to be this way?"
Remember, meth almost literally hijacks the brain. It happens fast, like slipping on the ice. (Maybe it's no accident that one of meth's street names is ice.) It's very addictive, and addiction is a disease of the brain—not a moral failing.
Find out what patient behaviors beside the drug use itself are contributing to tooth damage. Is it consumption of large quantities of sugar-sweetened beverages? Is it constant sucking on hard candies? What about failure to brush the teeth?
And, what is the patient willing to do? Could they stop using? Would they accept a referral to a treatment program? Would they commit to some harm-reduction strategies, like alternating sodas with ice water (hopefully fluoridated!), brushing their teeth twice a day, wearing a mouthguard?
How can you refer a patient to a treatment program? The same way you'd refer them to a specialist!
"I'm concerned you could be getting in over your head with your drug use. Here's the name of a person at a treatment center. I'd suggest you go talk with them and see if they can help you." It helps if you have a name, and if you know a little about what the patient could expect. For example, "Someone there should be able to see you in the next 24 hours. There's no charge for the first visit. They'll help you find a place you can afford, or that will accept your insurance."
How can you find out about the treatment resources in your community? One of the fastest and easiest ways to do this is to ask your local emergency room staff. They keep current information on local public and private treatment programs and professionals. Your state dental society well-being committee members will be familiar with such resources as well. Each state government should have a division for addiction services in the state, and that information is available on websites. In addition, information can be found at http://findtreatment.samhsa.gov.

For Immediate Release – 2/17/13Contact:Rockford College Director of Communication, Rita Elliott 815-226.3374Pam Keeling, firstname.lastname@example.com
Rockford, Ill. - The College is pleased to continue its Half the Sky efforts by supporting the premier screening of 10X10's film , Girl Rising, on Thursday, March 7 at 7:30 pm, Showplace 16, 8301 East State Street, Rockford, Ill. The screening is also supported by the YWCA, Rockford Public Library, Womanspace, AAUW and the Keeling-Puri Peace Plaza.
Cost to attend is $10 and tickets can be reserved at: http://gathr.us/screening/877
There are a limited number of seats available for this premier screening. View the Girl Rising film trailer, which was premiered the 2013 Sundance Film Festival here: http://www.youtube.com/10x10act.
10x10 is a feature film and a social action campaign, created and launched by an award-winning team of former ABC News journalists using the power of storytelling and the leverage of strategic partnerships to deliver a single message: educating girls in developing nations will change the world.
The film tells the stories of 10 girls from 10 countries, selected in consultation with 10 acclaimed women writers, working closely with non-profit partners. Directed by Academy Award nominated documentary director Richard E. Robbins, Girl Rising includes voice performances from actresses Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Kerry Washington, and Selena Gomez and others.
Funds raised through donations to 10X10 and through screenings held across the country beginning on March 7, will support the 10×10 Fund for Girls' Education. Donations to this fund will be distributed evenly among their non-profit partners who include CARE USA, World Vision, Partners in Health, Plan International USA, United Nations Foundation/Girl Up, Pratham USA, Room to Read, and A New Day Cambodia, all of whom operate girls' education initiatives around the world.
Launched in 2010, Half the Sky at Rockford College engaged the entire campus community, along with community members led by Jim and Pam Keeling, to do their part in eliminating brutality inflicted on third world women while promoting education and financial empowerment to produce a more prosperous and peaceful world. The Half the Sky project, based on the New York Times best-selling book by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, culminated in WuDunn's visit to the campus in the spring of 2011.

He's there for you no matter what, and with Father's Day around the corner, it's your opportunity to thank him back.
Stumped on what to give that special dad in your life this Father's Day?
Have no fear. Here is a list of Father's Day gift ideas sure to please ... and do a whole lot of good!
-- Would Dad kill to own a guitar signed by Keith Richards and Mick Jaggar? Or maybe he's always dreamed of testing his acting chops on a popular TV show. Charitybuzz, an online charity auction website, kicked off its "Dads and Grads Auction," featuring such once-in-a-lifetime experiences and gifts. Proceeds benefit organizations including the Robin Hood Foundation, New York Foundling, Mercy College, Liberty Hill Foundation, Musician on Call, Citymeals on Wheels, Ten O'Clock Classics and others. If you missed this auction, no worries. Charitybuzz has auctions every day of the year. To check out the list of opportunities or to place your bid, head to www.charitybuzz.com/grads&dads.
-- According to a Father's Day PSA campaign from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Ad Council, nearly 150,000 military fathers will be deployed away from their families this year. About 1.8 million children are affected by the unique stresses of military life. Consider making a donation in your father's name to a charity that helps these families. Visit CharityNavigator.org and type in "military" into the search bar to turn up a list of possible options.
-- Non-profit Heifer International, which works in the USA and abroad to help families become more self-reliant, encourages folks to show their thanks for Dad by making a gift in his name that will help another needy father provide for his children. According to the organization, a donation of a farm animal through Heifer International's gift catalog provides food security and income for families across the globe. For more information, visit www.heifer.org or call 501-907-2952.
-- The International Rescue Committee has a gift catalog with lifesaving options this Father's Day. You can make a difference in a refugee's life by purchasing tools, first aid kits or family survival kits in Dad's name. All purchased supplies are dispersed to refugees throughout the world. Gifts range from $18 and up. For more information, visit http://www.fromharmtohome.org/.
-- For the golfing fanatic in your life, consider the Bushnell Golf Rangefinder ($299), the top-selling laser rangefinder on the PGA TOUR. According to the company, it is used by more than 90% of PGA professionals and also happens to do good beyond the golf course with a portion of proceeds from sales going to support wounded servicemembers. Last year, this program resulted in Bushnell's $90,000 donation to the Folds of Honor Foundation.
-- Is your dad a fitness fanatic? Consider the TRX Force Kit ($219.95), a weight-training system members of military use. According to the company, $5 from the purchase of every TRX FORCE Kit sold through fitnessanywhere.com goes to support their "TRX Warrior Fund," providing equipment, training and education to injured servicemembers and athletes who embody the warrior spirit.
And, of course, breakfast in bed for Dad never hurt either!
Readers: How are you celebrating the special dad in your lives this Father's Day? We'd love to hear. Share your plans in the comments section below.

The Enloe Foundation is committed to providing the resources to encourage and develop Enloe Medical Center staff through scholarships. These scholarships support highly qualified people entering the medical field and encourage employees to continue on their educational path. Enloe's goal is to have the most skilled, competent and engaged staff to serve patients with compassionate and quality care every day. The Enloe Foundation offers up 15 scholarships each spring, and we encourage all Enloe employees to apply. The scholarships are made possible by generous donations from community members, employees and volunteers. A committee of Foundation Board of Directors and community members selected the recipients.
